“CREATED equals a much higher quality answer to how we got here than does the CHAOTIC and by CHANCE theories out there. Nothing you or I do in our lives is just by chance. There is no way on God’s green earth that all of this just happened by CHANCE.”
Genesis 1:14-19...
14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. 16 And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars. 17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18 to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.
1. Remember, God is SUPERNATURAL LIGHT yet created natural light and all of it’s sources to sustain us.
Genesis 1:14-15...
14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was so.
Genesis 1:16-18...
16 And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars. 17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18 to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness.
2. The expanse of the universe only goes to prove God is omnipresent.
OMNIPRESENT:
omni - all, of all things, in all ways or in all places.
present - existing, occurring or being present in a place or thing.
God is always present, everywhere and anywhere you may go.
Genesis 1:18-19...
18 And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.
3. God made His omnipresence clear when He took on flesh and became the Light.
As the Light...
John 1 mirrors Genesis 1:
vs. 4-5...
4 In Him was life, and the life was the LIGHT of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”
v. 9...
The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.
Jesus took being the Light serious...John 9:5
"As long as I am in the world, I am the LIGHT of the world.”
Jesus calls you to be that Light...Matthew 5:14-16
“You are the LIGHT of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people LIGHT a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives LIGHT to all in the house. In the same way, let your LIGHT shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
